Can anyone help me with some advice.
I am getting married in September 06 and we are thinking of coming to Grand Cayman on honeymoon. But is September a good month to come or is that the height of the hurricane/rainy season? Are we better waiting till later in the year?

Also, is there general public access to the Seven Mile beach? Or is it best to go to a hotel or property that is on the beach?

Thanks.

jacqueline,

Yes, September is "way" in hurricane season. However that does not mean there will be a hurricane!!! The tropical storm season usually falls between August and November.

I have traveled to the Caribbean often during this time frame AND it's a good time to get a good deal.

If you are planning around the weather or you are making reservations months out - then in theory you 'could' plan your trip for later in say November or early December.

Unless I am mistaken Seven Mile Beach is a public beach. You may not be able to travel "through" a hotel to get to the beach but you can simply walk around...? Someone correct me if I am mistaken!

Also, if you are looking for a more "hurricane proof" vacation check out the "Southern Islands" of the Caribbean. For the most part it's very rare for a hurricane to go south. (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia etc.)

I love the Cayman Islands, especially for the snorkeling and diving. But I think St. Lucia is one of the most romantic islands in the Caribbean.

Thanks for the advice and the information.

I was getting confused by all the information you read from hotels. They all seem to have some allocated part of the beach and i was wondering what was left for people not staying at a beach-front hotel.

It's good to know anyone has access to Seven Mile Beach and all they have to do is walk round a building!

Again, thanks for your reply.
